On Sept. 28, the Punta Gorda Chamber of Commerce co-hosted two back-to-back events in Punta Gorda that brought a lot of attention to Punta Gorda. The first, a Timeless Mural Run and Walk, took folks on an approximate 4-mile tour of some of the city’s murals, with proceeds benefiting the Punta Gorda Historic Mural Society.
